Promoting the Public Welfare
Psychologists
know that no patient is treated
in a vacuum; we all belong to
communities.
While psychologists can treat individuals and families, they cannot by themselves serve the needs of communities.
The MPA Foundation can address the needs of communities — a role for which it is uniquely qualified.
We can put science-based psychological theory and research into action within Michigan communities.
Please use our website to help you discover information about mental health and the mental health resources you may have available to you and your community.
